Dorothy Malone - RIP 2018

Route 66 TV Series Episode - Fly Away Home Parts 1&2

The last time I looked for Dorothy online I hadn't seen her in this episode of one of my favorite TV series from the 60's.  Somehow thanks to the current pop media her death didn't even get a mention in any of the news outlets that I follow for news.  At one time Dorothy Malone was a household name and in this episode she is older than her prime but still very attractive as she retains a perfect

She played the sad and ill treated divorcee of her Pilot Husband, Michael Renee.  And though he seems much older than her his bearing, trim fit, and full set of hair lets it work. 

She loved him and her job as a night club singer gives her an outlet for her sorrows and a wonderful showcase for a great singing voice.

The story goes along with Buzz making his play for her where in his case she is an older woman than him.   As expected, it didn't work out and in the end she loses her Pilot former husband to an air crash.

This is a two part episode and is easily up to the high standards of the series with some exceptional actors. 

It's sad to hear that Dorothy passed away and sadly this is the case for everyone generally that reaches such a wonderfully full age.   In her years on the screen she was not only beautiful but so talented that you can't help but believe she is the part she is playing.  Nothing speaks better for acting talent.
